I BLITHELY GO, by                    
First Line: I go from this dear world; but where
Last Line: —adeline m. Jenney
Subject(s): Hearts; Love


I go from this dear world; but where
I do not know. I only know
I shall not sleep!
My spirit is untired as winds
That from the south in April blow
On fields where life to fruit must leap.

Not sleep! I cannot sleep; for there
Are myriad worlds I've dimly seen
That I must seek;
And beauty's truth, whose form my soul
Has glimpsed as some faint silver sheen
Aglow above a heavenly peak.

I blithely go! For I know, there,
We'll raise this faltering, feeble song
We called, "Love," dear
Heart of my heart, who sang with me,
To harmony so sure and strong
Peace shall enfold all those who hear.
—ADELINE M. JENNEY
